awesome-agent-skills is a curated collection of over 1,100 agent skills contributed by official engineering teams — Anthropic, Google, Vercel, Stripe, Cloudflare, Netlify, HashiCorp, Trail of Bits, Sentry, Hugging Face, Figma, Expo, and others. Each skill is vetted and works across Claude Code, OpenAI Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, and Cursor. VoltAgent is explicit that this is "hand-picked, not AI-slop generated." The project fills a gap that's emerged as agentic coding platforms have proliferated: each platform has its own skill/command format, and developers end up rebuilding the same auth flows, API integrations, and test harnesses for each one. awesome-agent-skills provides a universal, cross-platform skill layer maintained by the companies that built the APIs being automated. As of this week, the repo is trending on GitHub with 139 new stars today, bringing the total to 16.9k with 1.8k forks. VoltAgent also maintains companion repos: awesome-openclaw-skills (5,400+ skills for Claude Code specifically) and awesome-ai-agent-papers. For developers building on any agentic coding platform, this is quickly becoming the first stop before writing a custom integration from scratch.

CatDoes v4
An AI agent with its own cloud computer builds your mobile apps

CatDoes v4 ships with Compose — an autonomous AI agent that runs on its own cloud computer to build mobile apps, websites, and internal tools from plain text descriptions. You describe what you want, Compose plans the work, writes code, runs tests, fixes its own errors, and deploys — even after you close the browser tab. Every project comes pre-wired with a full backend stack: database, authentication, storage, edge functions, and real-time events. The v4 release focuses on higher reliability and GitHub integration for developers who want to export and own their codebase. Free plans start at 25 credits; paid plans begin at $20/month with more projects and higher cloud limits. What distinguishes CatDoes from the crowded AI app builder space is the "own computer" framing. The agent doesn't just generate code for you to paste — it has an execution environment where it can actually run and debug the app, catching errors before you see them. Whether that closed-loop debugging holds up in practice for complex apps is the open question.
Reviewer scorecard
“Official skills from the companies that built the APIs are a different category from community-written scripts. When Stripe's own team ships a payments agent skill, I trust it handles edge cases my homegrown version would miss. This is the npm registry for agentic coding.”
“The closed-loop debugging is the real differentiator. Most AI code generators dump code on you and walk away — Compose actually runs the result and iterates. At $20/month with code export and GitHub sync, it's a serious prototyping accelerator even for experienced devs who just want to skip the boilerplate.”
“1,100+ skills sounds impressive until you realize most of them are thin wrappers that call the same APIs you'd call directly. 'Official' doesn't mean secure or well-maintained — a star count and corporate logos are not a substitute for auditing skills you're giving your AI agent.”
“Every AI app builder claims autonomous error-fixing, and in practice they all hit the same wall: anything beyond CRUD starts failing in unpredictable ways. CatDoes is also a relatively unknown indie — if they fold or pivot, you're left with a codebase that was built in their proprietary stack. Export and own is a good safety valve, but validate it before depending on it.”
“The emergence of a skills marketplace with official vendor buy-in is a structural shift: the agentic coding ecosystem is maturing from 'DIY everything' to 'pull from a curated catalog.' This is the infrastructure layer that makes agentic development teams viable at scale.”
“This is the trajectory: agents that don't just write code but execute, test, and observe it running. When the agent can monitor its own output in production and self-correct, we've crossed into genuinely autonomous software development. CatDoes is an early bet on that future at an indie scale.”
“Figma's presence in the contributor list is what gets my attention. Cross-platform creative workflow automation via official agent skills — rather than fragile screen-scraping hacks — is a meaningful step toward AI-assisted design pipelines that actually hold up.”
“As a designer who occasionally needs a working prototype but doesn't want to learn Swift or React Native, this is a gift. Being able to describe an app in natural language and get something testable on a real device within an hour is exactly the kind of tool that removes the 'I need a developer' blocker from creative projects.”
